Chapter 2461 A Little Lie
"I'll discuss it with Xiaozhen and let him stay at home alone."

"Xiao Zhen was young at that time and was very clingy to me."

“Not like now.”

The woman in the white down jacket glanced at the boy in the woolen hat.

She looked helpless as if her child had grown up and become independent, and there was nothing she could do.

Wool hat for boys:
"Xiao Zhen doesn't want me to leave and leave him alone."

"I set various conditions for Xiaozhen, such as bringing him delicious food and telling him stories at night."

"As long as he stays at home alone."

"And don't tell Mom and Dad that I left him home alone at night."

"I'll agree to anything he asks."

"But no matter how dry my mouth was, he just wouldn't agree."

"My friend keeps calling me at the door."

"I'm anxious."

"I want to leave immediately."

"Anyway, as long as I get back before mom and dad get off work, it'll be fine."

"As for not letting Xiaozhen complain to mom and dad when the time comes."

"There will always be a way."

"But Xiaozhen grabbed my clothes."

"Looks like he's about to cry."

"When I saw him like this, there was no way I could just leave like this."

Don't be fooled by the fact that she seems like the kind of sister who is quite mean to her younger brother.

In fact, she was the one who protected her younger brother the most since he was a child.

“But I really want to go out and play.”

As children, who can resist the temptation to go out and play?
"In the midst of my confusion and annoyance, an idea suddenly occurred to me."

……

"I told him I had a new friend to introduce to him."

"He's at home."

"But if Xiaozhen wants to see him, she has to find him first."

Even when she thinks back on it now, the woman in the white down jacket feels that she was really smart back then.

How did you come up with this idea?
Even now, her experience is still unique.

"I know Xiaozhen likes playing hide and seek."

She couldn't remember how many times she played hide-and-seek with Xiaozhen when she was a child.

Even though she plays at home almost every time, Xiaozhen still enjoys playing.

“That’s why I said that on purpose.”

"Besides, hide-and-seek can also help to buy time."

……

Xiao Xiao and the others all looked thoughtful.

They all had almost guessed what the woman in the white down jacket would say next.

Zhuge Yun grinned.

He glanced at the boy in the woolen hat with some sympathy.

This tough sister has been tough since she was a child.

……

"…Xiao Zhen believed what I said."

The woman in the white down jacket pursed her lips.

"While Xiaozhen was looking for someone in another house...I went out to play with my friends."

……

really.

Xiao Xiao and Zhang Bo looked at each other.

This is what adults call "lying to children."

Although the woman in the white down jacket was also a child at that time.

……

"Cough cough~"

The woman in the white down jacket's eyes wandered for a moment.

It’s actually not a big deal.

Although not exactly the same, she believes that many older sisters or brothers who have younger brothers or sisters have done similar things.

"Xiao Zhen is very serious about playing hide and seek."

"I won't stop until I find the person."

"There were a few times when I was playing with him and I couldn't hide anymore, so I came out on my own."

"He was mad at me for that."

……

Boy in woolen hat: ...

He wasn't angry.

Even though it had been a long time, he still vaguely remembered how he felt at that time.

He just... really liked the smile his sister gave him when he found her.

If his sister came out by herself, he would not be able to see her smile like that. Although now thinking back, his sister's smile was indeed somewhat suspicious of coaxing a child.

……

"cough~"

"That's probably it."

"In order to go out and play, I lied to Xiaozhen and said there was a new friend in the house who was playing hide-and-seek with him."

The woman in the white down jacket touched her nose.

"This way Xiaozhen won't pester me and stop me from going out."

……

"What a simple thing."

The voice of the woman in the white down jacket suddenly became clear.

"I just happened to get home before my mother got off work that day."

"I am very happy."

"Plus, at that time, I was busy giving Xiaozhen the snacks I bought for her."

"I was so excited that I forgot what I said to Xiaozhen before I left."

"Xiao Zhen was happy to see the snacks."

"No mention of hide-and-seek this afternoon."

"If he didn't say it, I wouldn't have thought about it."

"Even if I remembered it later, Xiaozhen's attitude made me give up asking."

"did not expect……"

"It's been several days since that time, and Xiao Zhen asked me to bring the friend I brought home last time back home. He wanted to play with my friend."

The woman in the white down jacket couldn't help but look at the boy in the woolen hat.

"I'm surprised."

"A little panicked again."

“It was at the dining table.”

"Mom and Dad are here."

"I thought Xiaozhen deliberately chose that time to say it."

"Just to tell Mom and Dad about it."

"Although I don't understand why Xiaozhen suddenly brought it up now when it's been several days."

"It was a surprise."

"I was caught off guard and didn't know how to answer Xiaozhen's question."

……

"Mom and Dad found it a little strange."

"Just ask me what's wrong?"

"Which of my friends gets along so well with Xiao Zhen?"

"Do they know each other?"

"Since Xiaozhen likes my friend, I'll invite her to my house again..."

……

“Mom and Dad asked a lot of questions.”

“They’re just the usual questions.”

"If what I said before is true, then these questions are naturally not difficult to answer."

"But the problem is that I was the one who lied to Xiaozhen from the beginning to the end."

"There is not even one friend coming to the house."

The woman in the white down jacket shook her head. "You know, children are always afraid of their parents."

"When mom and dad asked me this, even though I knew they hadn't discovered anything yet, I already felt extremely guilty."

"There's no way you can say anything to get away with it."

……

The woman in white down jacket spreads her hands.

A face full of helplessness.

“I was so obvious at the time.”

"If Mom and Dad can't tell that something is wrong... then there's something really wrong with them."

……

"They looked serious and asked me if I was hiding something from them..."

“…I’ll confess everything.”

Thinking of her instant chickening out at that moment, the woman in the white down jacket still finds it a little funny.

“They criticized me.”

"After all, lying is wrong."

". Don't adults always tell children that good children should not lie?"

"Otherwise the nose will grow longer."

The woman in the white down jacket said jokingly.

……

"But this is just a little lie told by a kid who wants to go out and play..."
